Have you ever craved pancakes but didn’t feel like having a full breakfast?

Well, I have a delicious treat for you—the pancake Crumbl cookie! These sweet little delicacies look just like pancakes but are topped with a buttermilk syrup glaze and a dollop of vanilla buttercream.

They were a fan favorite at Crumbl Cookies but disappeared from the menu too soon. Luckily, you can make them anytime you want with just a few simple ingredients.

So, stay tuned for the full recipe, and trust me, you won’t want to miss out on these sweet and satisfying treats!

History of the Dish

Let’s look back to the humble beginnings of Crumbl Cookies. It all started in 2017 when Sawyer Hemsley and Jason McGowan opened a cookie-only bakery near Utah State University.

From the beginning, they wanted to offer something different than the typical cookie experience, so they made it a point to mix, ball, bake, and dress their cookies in plain sight for all to see.

Soon, the delicious aroma of freshly baked cookies spread nationwide, and the Crumbl empire grew to over 400 locations.

And then came the pancake cookies. A brilliant twist on the classic cookie, they’re made with pancake mix and topped with a buttermilk syrup glaze and vanilla buttercream.

Who knew pancakes and cookies could go so well together?

What Can You Serve With Pancake Crumbl Cookies?

Crumbl pancake cookies are a warm and satisfying indulgence for your sweet tooth. But perhaps you are wondering what to pair them with—the sweet snack pairs perfectly with various sweet and savory accompaniments.

Try them with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon for a classic dessert presentation, or get creative with your toppings and add your favorite fruit, nut, or chocolate.

Preparation Instructions

Get ready to gratify your sweet tooth with this deliciously easy-to-make pancake Crumbl cookie recipe! Here’s how you can whip up these heavenly treats.

Directions:

Begin by setting the oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and then prepare two baking sheets with either parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Using your trusty standing mixer, beat the butter and sugar until it’s creamy and smooth.

Add the eggs and vanilla extract and mix thoroughly.

Whisk together the flour, pancake mix, and baking soda in a large bowl.

Gradually add your dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until thoroughly mixed.

Take a medium cookie scoopful of dough and roll it into a ball with your hands.

Place your dough balls onto the cookie sheets and gently press them into thick disks.

Bake your cookies in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they’re lightly golden.

Now let’s talk about those delicious sauces and frostings!

Sauce Directions:

Combine the brown sugar, butter, and buttermilk in a small pot and place it on the stove over medium heat.

Consistently stir the mixture until it begins to boil.

Take the pot off the burner and stir in the baking soda and vanilla extract.The sauce will foam and bubble up, which is perfectly fine.

Finally, whisk in the powdered sugar until it’s smooth and well combined.

Put your sauce aside and let it cool for 20 minutes.

Frosting Directions:

Again, use the stand mixer to thoroughly combine the butter, vanilla, powdered sugar, and milk.

Spoon one tablespoon of sauce onto the top of each cookie. I like to take the tines of a fork, dip it into the sauce, and then go back and forth over the top of the cookies.

Take a mini ice cream or small cookie scoop and scoop some frosting into the center of your cookies.

And voila! You’ve made a batch of at least 16 crumble pancake cookies that will have everyone singing your praises! Now, all that’s left to do is dive in and savor every bite.

How Could You Switch This Up a Bit?

Get ready to take the classic pancake Crumbl cookie recipe and give it a delicious, mouth-watering twist that will leave your taste buds begging for more.

• Add some chocolate chips for a classic twist: Yes, I know it’s basic, but there’s a reason it’s a classic! Plus, who doesn’t love ooey-gooey melted chocolate in their cookies?

• Experiment with different types of pancake mix: Who says you have to stick with Bisquick? Try using a cinnamon or buttermilk pancake mix to see how it changes the flavor and texture of your cookies.

• Switch the frosting: Though the classic buttercream frosting is delicious, why not try a different frosting altogether? Consider a cream cheese or peanut butter frosting that will give your cookies a unique and creamy taste.

• Go nuts: Literally! Add some chopped nuts, such as almonds, pecans, or walnuts, to the cookie dough for added crunch and flavor. You can also sprinkle some nuts on top before baking for an extra-sweet and savory twist.

• Get fruity: I love adding fresh or dried fruit to the cookie dough. Try adding chopped dried apricots, raisins, or even some cranberries for a fruity pop that complements the sweetness of the cookies.

• Try different shapes: While we love traditional cookie shapes, why not try something different? Use cookie cutters to make shapes such as hearts, stars, or even emojis—anything goes!

So, put on some music, grab your apron, and start your cookie experiments.
